New Jeeper introducing myself, my ride and a trip starting December Dear BHPians!
My name is Udaya Shreyas.
I have been a silent beneficiary of these forums for a long time, but now being the owner of a brand new Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, I felt the need to get a bit more vocal.
Thank you so much admins, for the approval!
I chose this beast primarily for my upcoming cross-country travels moving north from Kanyakumari.
Having considered many other options(across form factors and budgets, including some caravans), I found this to be the most capable vehicle for the job.
The plan is to be able to live a vanlife, camping and working out of the vehicle.
I am a digital content creator under the handle 'thesanskritchannel' on YouTube and Instagram.
I guess it goes without saying that the look and presence of this vehicle played as much a part in my decision, on top of its 'Go Anywhere, Do Anything' build.
There definitely are some unresolved kinks
(uncertain if the freedom-top can withstand heavy Indian monsoons(no leaks in the moderate rains in Hyderabad last month),
the missing mud flaps cause a wide spray along the body of the vehicle).
Still, after taking it through the Jeep trail here in Hyderabad, I'm only doubly convinced of the purchase.
All in all, super excited to share my experiences with the vehicle, looking forward to advice from veterans, and more than happy to share my route-maps, on-road experiences, and travel-alongs with fellow enthusiasts!
Pranam
